Beautiful little rock formation, two sizes bigger and you could think you were in Saxon Switzerland.

The hut is located at one of the main entrances to Wiesbaden's Terra Levis burial forest. The parking lot and bus stop were built here for this reason. The Grey Stone is on the other side of the path.

Nice little "tour" where you not only learn about Mr. Leichtweis, but also about the fauna of the cave and how the cave has changed over the years. The tour is free, there is a bucket at the entrance into which you can put a small donation. Above the cave there is a hut where coffee and cake are sold.
